One patient, Sion Jewell, had been due to have surgery to remove their breasts and had packed to go to hospital, only to be told in a phone call 24 hours before it that it had been called off.

The 29-year-old from Anglesey, who is biologically female but identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, had waited five years from their initial GP referrals.

Their surgery had been postponed twice already for mental health reasons.

The surgery would be irreversible and would mean, for example, that Jewell would not be able to breastfeed in future.

"When I found out I was heartbroken - I was distraught and completely disheartened," they said.

Sion said they had needed the surgery to "feel right in my body", and said gender dysphoria was a pain like "nothing imaginable".

Wallis said he had spoken to one woman who had been "worried sick about her child", and who said the gender service had not looked into any "of his comorbidities".

"They didn't take account of the fact that he was severely autistic, he didn't have a proper mental health assessment, and she knows her son, and she says that he needs proper care," Wallis said.

"And she was very, very concerned about the way the Welsh Gender Service made her feel like the enemy for raising these questions."
